Flexible Fiber-Optic Trailing Cable 6XV1820-6****
The flexible fiber-optic trailing cable contains two multimode graded fibers 62.5/125
m. Integrated dummy elements produce a round cross-section.
The outer jacket is labeled "SIEMENS SIMATIC NET FLEXIBLE FIBER OPTIC
6XV1 820-6AH10" at intervals of approximately 50 cm. Meter markers consisting of
a vertical line and a 4-figure number make it easier to estimate the length of an
installed cable.
